X3 for Goosenecks. When I visited December 2015, the rate posted was $17 a night, no services provided except a indoor bathroom area. The "road" if you can call it that inside the park is awful. It's full of large pointy boulders sticking up randomly. I don't know if that's been repaired, or if it's always that way.
Ditto on Goosenecks and the Valley of the Gods. The monument valley tour and or drive is a cattle drive with you as one of the cattle. The mobs driving around have worn the roads into deep sand beds.
Monument Valley is a destination place. Why stay somewhere else? (We have stayed at Goosenecks but not when we visited Monument Valley.) We've also driven the Dugway and Natural Bridges Nat'l Monument at the top of the Dugway is a fun place to hike (climbing ladders) with a pleasant campground for small RVs or boondocking nearby. We've driven the road in the Monument Valley ourselves and never felt it overcrowded. We went out early morning an late afternoon for the best photos.
Stay at Gouldings RV at Monument Valley. It's the closest place to stay. They also give tours from the RV park. There's also dry camping at Monument Valley's hotel area right in front of the famous 'Mittens'. When we stayed there it was by donation. Now they added bathrooms so charge a lot more.
163 is a very good road for a RV. Thousands do it each year. Have a good trip.
